I'm not an expert in this area, but from what I can tell:
Young rapidly growing forests sequester carbon more quickly than mature forests, but mature forests still sequester some carbon, possibly into the soil. (One source https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2008/09/080910133934.h... )
Separately, the regrown forest could be maintained in a state of peak carbon sequestration by doing selective logging from time to time, and as a bonus it would be profitable to do so.
